Thread 720019637

are there any RTS enjoyers on /v/ anymore? what RTS games have you been playing recently?
i've been enjoying some starship troopers: terran command (looking forward to the new dlc) and steel division 2.

>RTS games have you been playing recently?
Starcraft 2 is the answer to this question for the last 10 years.
Says enough for the state of the RTS genre

>>720019637 (OP)
This is one of the best RTS i've ever played and i've been queueing nonstop for like two months.
I'm waiting on Dust Front RTS and i'm kinda hopeful for Sanctuary Shattered Sun. But even though I love TA/SupCom kind of games, I really wish somebody just took AoE2/4 and made it sci-fi kind of thing like Star Wars Battlegrounds.

RTS is the genre that will never die. They're all made to last.

>>720019735
why only starcraft 2? surely there's other RTS games you found interesting and wanted to try?

>>720019749
>BAR
are you playing the big team games? i wish i enjoyed robot RTS, but i need to play as humans to enjoy RTS.

>>720019913
I didn't like the new ones like Tempest Rising. Infested Planet is the most recent RTS I liked.
Starcraft 2 has spoiled me too much, esp with all arcade and coop shit.

>>720019637 (OP)
I'm not an RTS enjoyer but BAR.

>>720020326
Forgot to add
Zero Space looks cool, I hope it's campaign focused.
There was one other game with race like high tech angels or smth but I forgot the name, also looked cool.

I guarantee you no one has played all the good RTS out there.

>>720020740
what actually happened was people found out they have preferences. why deal with combat when turtling was what you enjoyed the most? city builders it is, then.

>>720019637 (OP)
FAT ASSED COTTAGE CORE VILLAGERS!

>>720019749
Is it just supcom on crack or something?
Going to download it and try, seen it a lot recently and everyone seems to jerk it off. Any tips for newbs?

>>720021021
It's Total Annihilation on steroids
It was going to be just a remake but it got too big and too good and now it is its own thing. There's 2 coop PvE modes, excellent AI, and the MP is just fun, from duels to 8v8. It just werks.

>>720021021
Never ever ever neglect reclaim, all else being equal it will singlehandedly win you matches if you deny enemy reclaim and take it for yourself.
People ignore DTs and fortification walls but good placement of them can split up a T1 push for cheap.
Nano con turrets give the most build power per metal of anything, use them to furnish your base.
LLTs and mexes can self destruct to do large amounts of damage to anything near them, it can stop pushes if your enemy isn't using proper placement.
Self destructing denies reclaim.

>>720019637 (OP)
Heroes of Might and Magic.
The first one, got hit by a nostalgia wave. It was both much better and much worse than I remembered, but I finally beat it so 8yo me has been avenged.
>not an RTS
Close enough. Will probably replay Populous 3 next.

>>720020668
I love NTR so much it's unreal.

>>720019637 (OP)
BFGA2 is criminally underrated. Not an RTS per se more like RTT, but battles are addictive and fast paced and ramming ships never gets old

>>720022309
>Heroes of Might and Magic
Sir, this is a Wendy's.

>>720021639
This, new players don't grasp that killing and eating an enemy commander is an easy jump to T2. Eating metal from the enemy or feeding is what makes the game a knife fight and micro intensive

I'm really surprised how underrated this also is. It's somebody's wet dream and they don't know it exists. It has the W40k Dominion mod on the Workshop working and easy to install as well and its quite fun.

Last RTS I played was Planetary annihilation, love the novelty, hate the difficulty
>normal bots are braindead
>hard bots swarm aggressively
which is fine in 1v1, but 1v3 becomes overwhelming

>>720021452
>>720021639
I just played and man I suck at RTS. Just tried some random 3v3 AI match on normal difficulty and got smoked every single time.
Going to try going bots first and actually getting proper wind farms going. I like going big units but rushing T2 seems bad because the cost is insanely expensive early

>>720019637 (OP)
Regiments is cool. Took a while to get into but now I've racked like 20hrs in past 2 weeks just playing campaigns with different divisions.

>>720023532
Do this opening
>3 Metal Extractors
>1Solar
>2Windmills
>Factory of choice
>1 or 3 Constructors
Start doing windmills with those while you push and cap with your commander. The Commander is the best frontliner, anything you build is to enforce his push towards the enemy line.

Also
>Bots are cheaper for the same damage output in paper, but more micro intensive
>Tanks are easier for newbies to defend and push, but you need to be smart with your expenses
If you kill an enemy commander eat him and you can jump to a T2 early

Have fun

>>720023949
regiments seems fun, but i just cant play cold war games from non-US perspectives.

>>720024116
You're missing out. Shitter Pole and Czech divisions are blast to play with. And of course there are NATO armor divisions for the braindead that you can just attack order and they'll decimate everything in range.

Basic villager unit from AoE2.

>>720021952
>>720024225

>>720023037
I hate that RTT is so underrated, I don't get it, is it because it's unintuitive? You can't just A move blobs of units and certain aspects are very unintuitive for people who aren't at least a little interested in military tactics.
Compare Myth to any generic medieval RTS, your archers can hit your fighters on the back when they are mixed with enemy in melee, so now you need to consider positionng really hard and it can be frustrating.

>>720024657
You'd think your MOBA players would move over to RTT, but I guess they really care about controlling just one unit.

>>720019735
Fuck your gookcliker piece of shit faggot

>>720024657
i think RTT has the problem that it came out too late after everyone already left RTS to different genres and that they were already done well by lelic in their prime (dow1 and coh) with everyone after fucking it up in some way.

>>720024657

>>720024657
In the case of MoW / Gates of Hell specifically, it is very micro intensive.

>>720019749
So I missed BAR but played a lot of Zero-K, any idea how they weigh up against each other?

Game is Gates of Hell
Mod is Indomitus.

Make sure to complain to the mod developers for removing the ability of Krieg infantry to dig large foxholes since digging entrenchments is half of kriegs appeal

>>720026075
You're the person that posted in the /vst/ general right?
I've been trying the mod because of your webms and it is really cool. I wish GoHw40k was an actual thing. ty

>>720026136
Dunno what you're talking about but this pic makes me horny

>>720026116
Yes.
Waiting patiently for the mod makers to add conquest mode, according to their steam posts they are saying 'hopefully' christmas.

>>720024657
IT IS THE BANEBLADE!!!

>>720026075
how janky is gates of hell? i tried tank warfare: tunisia 1943 and men of war assault squad 2, but didnt like them.

>>720026305
If you didnt like MoWAS2, you probably wont like Gates of Hell.
Definitely less jank than tunisia 1943 though

>>720026305
It depends on the exact reasons you didn't like them, it's a lot less janky than those imo

>>720026305
It feels janky when you don't understand it's not a classic RTS but a mix of a 3rd person shooter with every soldier simulated as an RTS. The soldiers won't fire to what they cannot phisically see, no magic bullets. Once you understand it's more about positioning them for their advantage and looking itno the hill elevations and crevices and such, you're going to get insanely invested into it. And then the joy of controlling one in 3rd person or a tank and fucking shit up with your soldiers around is just fun.

GoH is really the wet dream of someone out there but it doesn't get the advertisement it could. I really think it is a bit of features overload and people just short circuit their brains while trying to grasp so much gameplay and so many options. But just have fun with the game, it's worth it.

>>720026381
What game is this?

>>720026486
Gates of Hell with Indomitus mod

>>720026509
I see, you can play as/control the soldiers?
That's pretty neat.

>>720026449
tank warfare: tunisia 1943 was just too janky for me. i couldnt get anything to fire at anything and the controls were just too fucking painful to learn. also wasnt that interested in tunisia.
mowas2 was alright, but i disliked the storage shit and how i felt like i needed to control every single guy since he'd do much better if i were aiming for him rather than letting them be retarded by themselves. i dont mind if i can control units more manually, but when it feels like im forced to or they just suck shit then i hate it.

>>720019749
>no commander upgrades
It's shit.

>>720026537
Yes, you can take direct control of any unit. I should make webms of controlling vehicles now that I think about it

>>720026573

>>720026629
>dead before 80% of the missiles can land
Squishy! Pathetic!
Where was his personal shield? His reinforced armor? His teleportation device?

>>720026593
I was suprised when called in a Baneblade and you can control it along with the 11 cannons in the mod. Fun stuff

Also i'm impressed that GoH manages to have tank warfare as cool and detailed as it is. I think it's on par or even better than games like War Thunder, a game about just tanks. And that's just a feature in the overall RTT gameplay.

RTS games with best singleplayer campaigns? Warcraft and Starcraft aside.

>>720026687
More commander abuseposting

>>720026702
Its good fun. Direct control lets you do cheeky shit like hide tanks inside buildings too

>>720026738
best is hard to choose since everyone likes different things in an RTS and campaign. i liked the army men RTS, homeworld 1, dawn of war 1, and starship troopers: terran command campaigns. they all start a little too slow/easy for my liking, but that's just how it is...

>>720026765
>cow nearly as big as the tank
god DAMN

>>720026738
Red Alert 2
Homeworld
C&C 3

>>720026061
nice

>>720026738
I think RTS campaigns should be like puzzle games baked into the sandbox gameplay and they should not only narrate a story, but to teach people to play the game and then jump into MP. That being said, the best like that are the Age of Empires 2 campaigns. They're rich, fun and hard. I don't think there's another RTS that has done it as masterfully as that one.

>>720026013
These games are genetically related but their guts are completely different. To me, Zero-K is better but BAR has better production values.

>>720026562
It's not really like tank warfare, that one tries to be more of a simulator and is really janky.
Unit resuplying is a lot easier now, it can be automatized (there's still the inventory, but units get ammo from crates without you manually doing it).
The second point unfortunately is still there and is the thing I dislike the most about these games, I understand we are in the minority though, since one of the main appeals for most people is the direct control.

>>720026738
you won't believe me, but it's true

>>720019637 (OP)
If by RTS you mean Real Time Sex, then yeah, there are some enjoyers of that on /v/, even though majority prefer drawings of lolis or are simply homosexual in all but name.
We tend to hide and pretend to be one of the Retarded Troon Supporters. This requires us to pretend to like tranime and Sóynyntendo gaymes.

Red Alert 2 + Yuri's Revenge.
Red Alert 3 was funny as well.
Red Alert - no idea I had it installed with all the expansions, but the units look really bad, but what's worse - the pathing is fucked up. You need to keep clicking and guiding your troops or they will fail when faced with any obstacle. So, unfortunately, I did not play through RA campaign and didn't see the cutscenes. But I hear you can see Kane acting as Stalin's advisor in one of the cutscenes.
It was hinted even back then that Kane is some supernatural, very long-lived being. He tanked an orbital cannon by GDI all by himself.
Yet, C&C 4 and on seem to imply he's some fucking alien and he needed Tiberium to spread as much as possible, so Scrin will notice that and invade for resources, while he uses their, basically, Stargate, to "Ascend". Whatever that means. To me, it sounds like "welp, Earth is fucked, it's ur problem nao peece tru powa rite haha well cya have fun fightin endless streams of alienz lol oh imma alien too I just forgot"

Classic Russian game, a lot of detail but ultimately too janky to really play

>>720027507
Persona gaymes are real time strategies, as you make strategic decisions in real time. Base building? It's called the Social Link system. The higher the level of a link the more powerful unit (persona) of that arcana you can fuse. You gain additional units of a different type as you advance the campaign. Who's your enemy? You yorself for making gay decisions instead of maxing your links for max personer tech.

I know it's not a normal C&C at all, but is gameplay actually bad?

Im searching that one rts game based on winter and snow. it may had only one level, a demo, from early 00s. Probably a high fantasy setting with demons, not quite sure
